Yikes. . . I don't know what to say. . . Oh well, at least he's still alive and recovering. . .
I went to bed very early today because I wanted to catch up on sleep, but then I woke up again about 4 hours later with a nagging thought, so I went online and saw this topic.
Talk about 6th sence. . .
Oh well, glad Oddbodd is okay (Get well soon!), and I don't have that nagging thought anymore. . . Yeesh. . . Now, none of you go commiting suicide now, okay? Be safe. Love life.

Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*I still don't know whether this is a hoax or not. You'll have to forgive me; I'm always too trusting of people, and I've been burned many times in the past because of that.
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Since I first read this yesterday, I've been feeling sad and depressed ever since. I hadn't known that I could get so emotional over someone I've never even met and vaguely know. You had better thank your lucky stars that you have friends from all over the world like us that are here for you.
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*There are only three things that can make me mad, one of which is seeing or hearing of a person that thinks that killing themself will end all of their suffering. You see, that's where all of the real suffering begins.
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Hear this and remember this: You are Not a victim! For whatever reason(s) you think that you should have done what you did, you're utterly wrong. But You Should know that everything that has happened to you, including the stuff that happened up to that point, didn't happen because the world is against you. It has been given to you not to hurt you, but to make you stonger.
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*I can't and won't forgive you unless you can learn from this incident, and also realize for yourself that everything that has happened previous to this event has also been a learning experience. It's right there in front of your face, especially now. I hate to see somebody try and waste themselves like that, and if you really try, you can experience the pure rapture of just being alive. Excuse me, I can't even finish.

It isn't.

i am sooooooo depressed about it! i was crying at school today and everyone was felling sorry for me! :( :( :( GET WELL BUD!

Good and Bad news people.
It’s me Marko again, I have been checking on Nalaka today and he is feeling terrible. I really shouldn't be telling you guys this but I asked the doctor if he is feeling all right and she said "Physically he might pull through but I just don't know mentally."
He is able to talk (but not able to go to the computer Lampion????) And we talked for a while. I brought up the subject about posting to the forums and he got pretty sad. I think it was because he was planning to well you know.
The good news is that he COULD pull through, he lost a lot of blood and passes out very often. He got a piece of paper and wrote something for you guys.

"Fellow Oddworld-forum-reply-clickers
All I wanna say is that you guys rock and was the only reason why I didn’t go…the full length (you know.)
I hope that I will recover and that you not worry so much over me. Thanks.
PS: Hopefully you guys haven’t decided who the new moderator will be : ) If you have it better not be that damn Leviathan PILOT. He should have been killed by the fishbowl!!! Lol, just playing. If it should be anyone to be moderator it's that dude right there.
Marko told me about what you guys said and I also just wanna say that things might not"

I’m sorry but he went to sleep so he didn’t get to finish. He gets really tired sometimes. Well if you see anyone else in Oddchat, please it’s not him. Believe me, he can’t get out of bed let alone sit down and type.

/////edit: Sorry missed parts of the letter

Thanks Marco, for letting us know how Nalaka is going. I'm sorry to have told that he was at the Oddchat, but I really thought it was him. the person who did that at Oddchat doesn't deserve much respect for playing with people's fellings. I'm happy that Nals is getting better physically.

i hate when people do that!!!!!!!!!!! they say they are this person! but they arn't!WHO EVER SAID THAT THEY ARE ODDBODD SHOULD FELL AWFULL!!!!!!!!!!
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Thanks for the update marco. I sure hope he writes another letter to us! :)

stay in there!!

(SPAM, DON'T GIVE A SH%T!!!!!!!)

What hospital is he in????? I will loveeee to visit him!! i am 13, male, from sydney.

Sorry but i should tell you this, even though i just posted reccently. I had just got word from Nalaka's father that Nalaka's heart had stopped beating. His body totally shut off.
Thank God that the doctors got there in time and helped him get a heartbeat back. Still he is in constant shock and tries to get out of bed.

Yikes! I really hope he pulls through this. I don't suppose he's allowed visitors, is he? What hospital is he at, if you don't mind telling us?

*speechless.... nearly cries*

HANG IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!

Awww..poor Oddbodd!
I´m sorry for him!
That is terrible how can a human do such things?
Freaky what do you mean with the sentences on the first page on this topic?
Well, you talk weird words.
I hope that Oddbodd get´s better soon!!!

TBS http://www.freakygamers.com/smilies/s/kao/otn/kao2.gif

My God... I felt physically shocked, as though someone had slapped me, when I read that his heart had stopped beating...
I'm so glad that he's still alive, and I really hope that he recovers.

Hang in there. We don't want to lose you.

Hang in there ODDBODD. Shit, I don't know what else to say..... :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

I'm very glad to see you again Oddbodd

Oh no! It really is true! OMG.... When it was first posted I thought it was a sick joke and followed Sydmans advice and ignored it! Then Munchy told me it was true! I didn't realize.....OMG...Why??????
But....GET WELL SOON ODDBODD! I might have got annoyed with you but you are a really cool person and a great friend. *Speechlees tears roll down face*
I nearly fell off my chair when I heard his heart stopped.
All I can say is
GET WELL SOON AND DON'T DIE ON US!!!

I didn't know what to think/say either when I first read about this...
:eek:
Hang in there Oddbodd. If you die on us, the birds won't bring ya back. You have a lot of friends on this board pulling for ya. Our prayers are with you.

Hnag in there ODDBODD and never try somthing like this again

I love you guys...

I probably should have replied yesterday, but I just didn't know what to say. Oddbodd added a lot to the forums, with his overuse of capslock and crazy stories/posts. I really hope he pulls through, and posts soon. Thank you so much, Marco, for giving us this information... Get well, Oddbodd...

Like, Mel, I'm sorry I didn't reply yesterday... I just didn't know how to respond. When I heard that Nal's heart had stopped beating I too went into shock. Hang in there, my prayers are with you!

My prayers are with ya oddbodd.

HOLY SHIT!! keep hanging in there, BODD of the ODD. it wont be the same if Bob doesnt find the grail.

I dont know what to say but you have my deepest condolences.

Comme on boy! Get better phisically and then ... Don't think to hard about people or things that make you feel bad, but think about what can make you happy. DON'T YOU WANT TO PLAY MUNCH. Maybe it's just a game and not important in a man's life if you have other, big problems. If you think that, your wrong. It's those little things that make a life better. A stupid game, a funny tv-show, a nice soccer-game, a tasty soda (no SoBe off course :D ), a forum with members like us,...etc.

Think about it.

Oh no.. God, why?

Oddbodd, you just don't die on us. Don't make me despressed another two weeks now, you... member...

Please, don't die. Everyone has died lately. One of my best friends parents, a former schoolmates dad, my mother grandmother, and so many I know are sad and sick.

If you die, then these forums will not be the same again. Pleeeeaase dont die, now. Not now. It's too soon! Do you hear me!!?

Comon you can do it! Keep going OODBODD we all want you to pull through! Put all your effort into being allright!

Here's to wishing ODDBODD courage and strength in the coming weeks and months. You have touched more lives than you may think. Just looking at the posts here show me that you are a positive influence. :)

Oh my god. Hey Marco can you tell Oddbodd something from me or wait I´ll send you an email that you give him. Ok?. First tell him that he should keep his blood for Freakbat.

odd help us:*(

Come on little buddy, hang in there. After all we've been through (the yahoo sessions, the comp-u-geek era, the house break-in, etc) you can't just go like that. Hopefully everyone here will pray for you, as I will.

Marco, keep us posted ok, and tell him we're thinking of him.

ODDBODD
Please don't die! Don't ever think you don't have a reason to live or don't have any friends. You have plenty of friends here, at the forums (look how many people responded). We care about you, ODDBODD. You're like family to us!
My prayers are with you
-Oddite

Please OddyBoddy don't die! We all love you here! I know I've been gone for awhile, but we ALL need you to pull through. The world just wouldn't be the same without your sense of humor. Your one of the funniest guys I know.

I know the feeling of wanting to kill yourself. I've tried to strangle myself to death countless times. I know how pain can feel unbearble and you just want out. I cut myself to try and releve that pain. But now I know that it doesn't work. The only way to cope with the pain is to simply deal with it. Recently my mom found out that I had cuts all over the backs of my arms and all over my torso and legs. I had tried to make myself bleed to death to escape pain. But I promise I will never hurt myself again just for you and everyone. So please Nalaka, pull through for me and everyone else at the forums. May your gaurdin angel look over you!!

GASP! You tried to kill yourself too? oh man, this isn't good...

Actually, it is good, and thankyou for sharing that Capri. If Capri can attempt suicide and put it behind her to lead a happy life then so can Nals.

Nals, I'm thinking of you every day. I hope you recover soon and can return to the forums! We're all waiting for you!

Come on Oddbodd!! I know you can make it through!!!

oh god.... i leave a few months and this is what happens? i can't say me and oddbodd were really online buddies. it was more like we knew that screenname exsited and thats it. even so, things like this need attention and from the sounds of things,all out prayers are needed for him to pull through. i know what it feels like to be depressed, and i also know how it feels to be concerned about some one near to you and someon you care about online. this might be long because i have alot to say.

first theres my online pal,shazi (also known as danni dingo, she showed up a couple of times on the old board) she is one of my best onlines friends ever. funny,witty, and a wonderful artist and writer. but sometimes she gets really sad. i've been concerned about before but never as much as the time she said she was sick of it all and suddenly went offline. let me tell you,i was scared. i thought maybe she went off to try and kill herself. i cried and just stared at the screen. i felt so helpless. i wanted to go there and be support, reach out an hand,something, but i can't the feeling is the worse feeling in the world. luckily,she came back on 15 minutes later and she seems alright to this day.

then sadly,theirs my cousion. since we were little we use to be so close. its kinda funny,we're complete oppsites of eachother. shes small and thin, and tall and husky. she loves clothes shopping and other "normel" teen like things, the most shopping i do is at a book store and i listin to musicals. yet, we both love playing around with our made up chars ( god,we use to roleplay on the phone for hours) but now things are changeing..... her stepfather is a abusive to both her and her mother, and her mom whos a nice woman,really, is a little into religion. ( no halloween, stuff like that) lately, my cousion has been fired from a job accused of stealing ( which is something i do NOT think she would do) tried to kill herself because her boyfriend dumped her, and had to stay at my house for a night due to the fact that her stepfather was acting very abusive that night. i haven't heard a word from her since, and i'm too scared to call.

then finely,theres myself. yes,i too have had thoughts of suicide. it started in middle school. god, people are cruel. i was teased about my weight so much that i couldn't take it anymore. i needed to go to the physcitrsts and take medication because of those jerks. and now, i don't trust many people in the outside world anymore. they say sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me? their wrong. something i read out of "chicken soup for the soul" fits it more. " sticks and stones may break my bones but words can kill a soul" its true. i don't have many friends in the real world. online friends are the only ones i really have. on the internet,no one sees you unless you put your picture up. no one can start on the way you look,talk,do things. i think if it were not for the internet and fan fics i would have acutelly killed myself. i've thought of suicide but my love of what i can create has kept me alive. you and all my online friends have helped me realize that fact. now, to oddbobb, all i can really say is i don't know why you tried to kill yourself but now you have to fight to hold on. i may not be one of your best online buddies but i care! none of us here are going to let you go down without a fight! though we cann't be their physicily we're there in spirt. just rember, " their be no rainbow for the soul if the eyes no tears" just hang,please.
